Workshop: 2002 Gordon Research Conference on Laser Interactions with Materials, July 21-26, 2002 at Proctor Academy, Andover, New Hampshire

该奖项将为2002年7月21日至26日在新罕布什尔州安多弗的普罗克特学院举行的2002年戈登激光与材料相互作用研究会议提供部分支持。会议的主要目标是汇集来自不同学科的研究人员，研究各种各样的材料系统，分享他们在解开激光/材料相互作用产生的基本机制和应用方面的方法和进展。本次会议的目的是关注该领域当前最先进的技术和必要的未来方向，所有参与者之间的互动由该领域的主要科学家的几次重要演讲促进。当前高度关注的主题包括生命科学和医学的应用；适用于纳米技术、光电子和未来电子系统的激光加工；以及超快激光器的应用。该项目将强调多元化群体的参与，包括妇女、少数民族和年轻研究人员

This award provide partial support for the 2002 Gordon Research Conference on Laser Interactions with Materials to be held at Proctor Academy in Andover, New Hampshire on July 21-26, 2002. The primary goal of the conference is to bring together investigators from diverse disciplines studying a wide variety of materials systems to share their approaches and progress in unraveling basic mechanisms and applications that arise from laser/material interactions. The purpose of this conference is to focus on current state-of-the-art and necessary future directions for the field where interactions between all participants is facilitated by several key presentations by a leading scientist in the area. Topics of high current interest include applications to life sciences and medicine; laser processing applicable to nanotechnology, optoelectronics, and future electronics systems; and applications of ultrafast lasers. The program will emphasize participation of a diverse group of participants, including women, minorities, and young investigators
